Thanks to Poppy! - Man, wandering around Bangkok solo turned out to be a total win, all thanks to Poppy. The guy’s got this goofy charm super chill,makes you feel like you’ve known her for ages. Seriously, the temples Mind-blowing. I was kinda worried it’d be a rushed take your photo and move along vibe, but nope. Poppy let me just vibe, take it all in, ask dumb questions, whatever. If you’re flying solo and want a mix of culture, gorgeous sights, and someone who actually gives a damn if you’re having fun, this is the way to do it. Felt like the universe handed me a perfect day.

Incredible experience - We had an amazing time on our private tour! Got picked up from our hotel on time in a comfortable car by a friendly driver and our wonderful tour guide Katie. We first went to the Grand Palace and Katie expertly guided us through the beautiful building while telling us about Thailand's interesting history. She knew all the best picture spots took lots of photos of us that she sent us later. We then moved on to Pho Temple where we got to see the incredible reclining Buddah. It was a very hot day, so Katie made sure to alternate shade and air-conditioned spaces with the sweltering outdoors and kept cool water in her bag for us to sip. We then went on a 1 hours boat tour on the canal (this was optional at an additional price) where we got to see more of Bangkok, spotted some monitor lizards and fed some catfish. The final stop was Wat Arun which was very busy with lots of tourists but Katie expertly guided us through the crowds and took some more great photos of us. Back in the car we were given chilled bottles of water and cool towels to cool down after walking in the heat. At the end of the day Katie sent us lots of lovely photos she took of us during the day. We had the best time and could not recommend this tour any more!

Great Guide and Tour - We joined a private tour of the Grand Palace and other temples with Poppy as our guide. Since it was also our first day in Bangkok, our schedule was a bit ambiguous. However, Poppy was very responsive whenever we had questions or concerns regarding our meetup time. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Thailand, the palace, and the temples, and she was able to address any questions we had. It was a very nice tour experience.

An excellent and informative day out - An excellent, well organised trip around some of the temples of Bangkok plus a great river cruise. Nok was a fabulous guide and made it interesting for all of the family. She took us to a fabulous local restaurant and kept us supplied with cool water all day which was important considering how hot it was. She also took lots of photos for us to treasure. Her knowledge of Bangkok and it's history was excellent as was her English. Thank you so much Nok.

With Guide Pat - Did this temple tour with Pat and had a really good time. The explanations were clear and easy to understand, with just the right amount of detail. Nothing too much, just enough to enjoy and learn something new. The Grand Palace was busy, but Pat managed the timing well and showed us quieter spots. We also visited Pho temple and Arun temple, which looked great in the afternoon light. The whole day felt relaxed, not rushed. Good route, helpful tips, and smooth experience all around.

Private tour with Nok. - All 8 of us had an exceptional day sightseeing with Nok. She turned up on time, and the van was immaculate and spacey. The information given at all the places we visited was interesting and she was very knowledgeable. She was patient with the kids and aimed her information at both the kids and adults. She was amenable to changing the itinerary during the trip. We would all highly recommend Nok.
